Orozco Murals - The Epic of American Civilization is a renowned artistic treasure located in Hanover, NH. Painted between 1932 and 1934 by Jos Clemente Orozco, this extraordinary mural cycle reorients the 'epic of America' by presenting a Mexican story rooted in Mesoamerican civilizations and the devastation caused by the Spanish Conquest. Covering nearly 3,200 square feet of wall space in the Orozco Room of Baker Library, the 24 panels of the mural depict the cyclical nature of America's epic, emphasizing the eternal return of destruction and creation rather than a linear tale of democratic expansion and progress.
